You may be able to get compatible versions of Apps. In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPhone has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPad, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.

Install an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

Note that this option will likely stop working in the near future.

Given the information that you have provided, and the fact that you make it a strong point to indicate that you are a pensioner on a fixed income, I suggest you would have to determine how much you are willing to spend on a phone. That decision is going to have to be made on what apps you find important to use, how much space you need to have on the phone to handle your needs, and how much can you spend. You can contact your carrier to see if they have any deals, and Apple does provide some deals on refurbished phones. Refurbished iPhone - Apple These are phones that have been factory refurbished and carry a warranty. If Apple does not suit your ability, you can see if any other smartphone fits your budget, however it would require the purchase of apps in another system.

I'd say anything older than a 5s is out.

You could as mentioned get a Refurbished model from Apple, and pay for it in installments if your fixed budget allows for monthly payments for it.

Apple currently has refurbished iPhone 6s in Gold for $439. And you can get Special financing.

Apple Financing with Barclaycard Credit Card - Apple

Refurbished iPhone 6s 128GB - Gold - Apple

Beyond that if you plan on buying pre-owned for somewhere else, make sure the iPhone is actually unlocked, and can be used before handing over money.

Make sure the steps here were followed when buying second hand:

Good for you, unfortunately you cannot. As has been said over 50 times in this thread, an iPhone 4 cannot update past ios 7.1.2 no matter how much you want it to.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE POSTING THE SAME QUESTION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.

Every time I go to software update it says it up to date already with 7.12 but every time I go to download app if won't let me saying I need ios 8 but it want let me update

That is because the app has been developed to work with iOS 8 or above, and your iPhone is not capable of running iOS 8, so it won't work. As discussed many times throughout this entire thread, the iPhone 4 does not have the hardware capable to running an iOS higher than 7.1.2, but developers have upgraded their apps to run on iOS 8 or above. So, you will see the error that the app requires iOS 8 or above, however you will be unable to update the phone's iOS, so you cannot update the app or run a newer app that requires iOS 8 or above.

Please let me know how to install ios8 to my iPhone 4

This thread is 19 pages long. The answer to that question has been given at least once on every single one of those pages, INCLUDING the first page. Please explain how it was possible for you to have not seen the answer.

Actually it isn't. They do a search, find the topic, look at the last posts, and add their dribble. It is a constant flow of "me too", or just "fix it". Reading seems to have become so overrated.😝

I blame an overuse of emoji.

Along with the bulk of the moderation staff I would venture.

I suspect this thread, as well as the "I can't purchase ....." thread is on ignore mode for the mods. I've reported so many of the me too posts, I'm certain they are tired of hearing from me.

Hopefully you will still chime in on the threads where people have battery questions and are willing to listen to reason. You're answers are the best on batteries.

Now that the kind of lady you are is clear can we negotiate price?

You notice that the redundant, unnecessary questions seemed to have ceased. Can this really be worse than what the other 21 pages contain? So, this one or the other one? Your choice 😁. And we can limit it to one addition each per day, or per AM/PM, or however....
